Abstract : Groundwater is a resource of water that occurs below the surface of the earth. Groundwater is mostly found
underground in between cracks and spaces in soil, rocks, and sand. Groundwater is a source of recharge for lakes and
rivers. Groundwater is used as the main source of water supply in towns, cities, and rural areas surface water schemes are
more expensive because of project construction costs. Raigad district faces extreme scarcity of water in the summer season
due to improper management of rainwater. Therefore, it is leading to puncturing of the rivers, canals, and lakes by
unnecessary construction of well or digging borewell, which eventually will dry out. The Comparative Study of
Groundwater potential zones in Dr. BATU Campus it would be done because the campus faces water scarcity, as well as
there are many upcoming constructions in the campus. The study demonstrates the potential of geographical information
systems and statistical-based approaches to identify the hydrological processes and demarcate the groundwater prospect
zones near a campus building. The area is situated in Heavy Rainfall, Humid tropical climate, and influenced by the Canal
following in some parts ofcampus. Various thematic maps such as drainage, geomorphology, geology, slope, soil, lineament,
and lineament density will be used. The area of the campus is 971.7 km2 and the coordinates of the area are E18°10'15",
N73°20'22". Potential groundwater zones will be detected by using QGIS, Google Earth, and using Earth Resistivity meter.
The main objective of this study is to find out the potential groundwater zones and also the slope of groundwater in the
campus so accordingly wells or bore well can be dug so at appropriate points. To evaluate Physic-chemical characteristics
ofgroundwater, to studythe spatial and temporal variation ofgroundwater quality, to develop a quality model using suitable
prediction modelling.

I. INTRODUCTION
The spatial variability of physical properties that significantly influence the fate of water and solute in soils needs a large
number of measurements to be quantified. Surface electrical resistivity techniques could be used as a simple and practical
method to determine this spatial variability. Electrical sounding and profiling measurements were taken on a small
agricultural field (30 by 60 m) under two different soil conditions (dry and wet conditions). The soil profile is composed of
three layers: a highly permeable sandy loam (alluvial terrace) overlying a gravelly sandy till that covers a friable sandy to
silty shale. The soil physical properties (grain size distribution, porosity, hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, and organic
matter content) of the uppermost layer were measured in the laboratory on undisturbed soil cores taken at three different
depths on a 6 by 15 m grid in the field.
Geographic Information System (GIS) can be defined as a system for entering, storing, manipulating, analysing, and
displaying geographic or spatial data. The development of Geographic Information Systems GIS is highly influenced by the
evolution of information technology; the paradigm of GIS is shifting. Traditional GIS systems provide capabilities to handle
geo-referenced data, including data input, storage, retrieval, management, manipulation, analysis, and output. However,
with closed and centralized legacy architecture, current GIS systems cannot fully accommodate distributed, diverse
network environments due to their lack of interoperability, modularity, and flexibility. With advances in computer
networking technologies, a distributed geographic information services paradigm becomes a reachable goal.
Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its
reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). Special cameras collect remotely sensed
images, which help researchers "sense" things about the Earth. Some examples are:

ï· Cameras on satellites and airplanes take images of large areas on the Earth's surface, allowing us to see much
more than we can see when standing on the ground.
ï· Sonar systems on ships can be used to create images of the ocean floor without needing to travel to the bottom of
the ocean.
Cameras on satellites can be used to make images of temperature changes in the ocean
II. Objective
To check if the area is suitable for future construction of building in the campus or not. Also, to check if the water level and
type of rock present at the decided points which will benefit the future construction. Also, to know the ground water level
because the area faces a severe water scarcity in the summer season.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1.1 Development of Thematic layers
The base map of DBATU campus was prepared according to the Survey of India (SOI) toposheets (1:50,000 scale). To
assess groundwater potential zones, multi-parametric data set, namely, geomorphology, watershed, contour map, slope,
vector, LU/LC, drainage density, were prepared using topographic maps, existing map, data collected from the field study,
and satellite image using integrated techniques such as RS and GIS .The satellite data, Sentinel-2 imagery, were accessed
from Earth to explore the site (http://www.usgs.gov/). The LU/LC, drainage map were prepared based on the Sentinel-2
(spatial resolution 10 meter) false colour composite (FCC) images in QGIS software using visual interpretation techniques
with field check.
3.1.2 Geomorphology
Geomorphology is the study of landforms, their processes, form and sediments at the surface of the Earth (and sometimes
on other planets). Study includes looking at landscapes to work out how the earth surface processes, such as air, water and
ice, can mould the landscape
3.1.3 Land Use and Land Cover of the Study Area
Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) is a broad term that describes the categorization or classification of human activities and
natural features on the landscape across time using established scientific and statistical methods of analysis of acceptable
source materials
3.1.4 Drainage Density of the Study Area
The length of the stream to a unit area of the region is defined as the drainage density. It is a suitable tool for analysis of
the landform in terms of groundwater potential.
3.1.5 Slope of the Study Area
The slope is an important criterion that helps to delineate the groundwater potential zone. It directly affects infiltration
and surface runoff. Low/nearly level slope has high infiltration and low runoff, resulting in good groundwater recharge,
while moderate to steep slope enhances surface runoff. A slope map was prepared from the SRTM elevation data with the
help of ArcGIS software the slope map is categorized into three classes, nearly sloping (0â1%), very gently sloping (1â3%),
and gently sloping (3â5%)
3.1.6 Vector of the Study Area
The Vector Map (VMAP), also called Vector Smart Map, is a vector-based collection of geographic information system (GIS)
data about Earth at various levels of detail. Level zero (low-resolution) coverage is global and entirely in the public
domain. Level 1 (global coverage at medium resolution) is only partly in the public domain.

V. CONCLUSION
Geographic Information System (GIS):
Map making is an event that we perform every day. GIS allows users to create, collect, analyse and visualize data in
an integrated database for use in a wide array of disciplines. Community based planners can utilize GIS along with
contemporary data and local knowledge for capacity-building and long-term sustainability. Land use land cover maps are
prepared by using of GIS and obtained from IRS-ID-LISS III, which georeferenced with SOI of 1:50,000 scale. Information
on land use and land cover is required for the assessment of groundwater availability and management. The research area
contains a verity of land uses and land covering including agricultural land, built up area region, forests, wastelands, trees
and water bodies. As shown, there are various classes of drainage density ranging from very low to very high. In our study
area it shows that zone of lower drainage density will have good groundwater prospectus. The slope is an important
criterion in determining the potential zone for groundwater. It has an impact on infiltration as well as surface runoff. The
Vector Map is a compilation of GIS data about Earth with varying levels of detail that is vector-based.
Electric resistivity meter (SSR-MP-ATS):
Based on all the case study presented, it shows that the application of SSR-MP-ATS had successfully helped
engineers in mapping several civil engineering interests and problem, especially during preliminary stage in groundwater
exploration. The groundwater can be easily detected with supported by borehole data and geochemistry information as
this technique is efficient in term of cost, time and data coverage. Besides, the types of arrays chosen during data
acquisition is important in obtaining precise result based on the main objective of the study. The theory and application of
resistivity method should be explored in depth by engineers to obtain a reliable information. To improve understanding of
this application, guidance and help from geophysicists are required as this field was their expert. We take 14 different
readings with the SSR-MP-ATS machine and get the following results: point 1 depth of soil is 1.0 m and weather rock are 1-
23 m. By plotting the inverse slope, we get a graph that shows high groundwater is present at that point. Similarly at point
2 depth of soil is 4m. Weather rock is 1-7 m and fracture rock are 7-26 m. By plotting inverse slope, we get the graph which
shows high groundwater presents at this point. At point 3 depth of weather rock is 1m, fracture rock is 1-13 m and hard
and compact rock is 13-26 m. Moderate groundwater presents and this site is suitable for civil construction purposes.
Similarly, for points 1-14 we get the values for those particular points and by plotting an inverse slope graph we get, points
1, 2,4,6,8,10,11,13 at these points we get high level of groundwater available and these sites are highly suitable for
construction of wells and bore-wells. For points 7,9,12 by plotting an inverse slope graph we get high depth difference
between fractured and hard and compact rock. At these points we get the moderate level of groundwater availability. So,
these sites are suitable for bore- wells construction. For points 3,5,14 plotting by the inverse slope graphs we get highly
present of hard and compact rocks, so in that case groundwater availability is very poor. These sites are suitable for
construction purposes.

Comparative Conclusion:-
From the foregoing, it may be mentioned that both resistivity imaging results revealed the highly complex
hydrogeological setting of the study area. These studies also identified potential aquifer zones in such a geologically
complex setting. Resistivity models generated by inverse modelling of measured apparent resistivity data signify potential
groundwater aquifers at lateral distances over different profiles, we get the soil at 0-50âŠm of depth, wherein fractured and
weathered rocks are predominant at depths beneath 151-250âŠm and 51-150âŠm simultaneously. Which is good for
potential zone exploration of water. Layer of hard and compact layer with intercalation of sand indicates at 251-1000âŠm.
The vertical electric resistivity data helps to indicate different types of aquifers present in the study area. By this we
identify the potential aquifer zone. The longitudinal condense map suggests the area falls under the category of very good
and excellent protective capacity rating which is a high transmissivity in some part of the area which forms the potential
aquifers. The lithology of the bore well also supports the resistivity model. Also, result indicates that the low resistivity
obtained at depths of and below is conducive for groundwater extraction. This zone coincides with the low resistivity
precinct observed at distance over profile. Thus, this spot can be considered to drill a bore well. The combine result of
lithology and obtain data from the electric resistivity meter signify the various effective result to find out most suitable site
for groundwater exploration. This study is beneficial to the farming community for exploration and management of
ground water. In the following 14 reading which were decided by doing GIS survey of the study area. Also, by referring all
the maps slope, drainage density, land use and land cover. Then after the points were decided electric resistivity meter
was used to find out the ground water level as well as rock so to cross check the data of GIS.
